Thank you for the detailed report. I made a release last night but it's being reviewed by Google at the moment. I will comment again once its available so you can test it. However, that update was just me blindly fixing things so no guarantees it will fix the bug youve reported.
I will look at the code again tonight since i have a better idea of where to look now.
If this is the .2 on github, it appears to have worked for me.
The loads of missing images on lemmynsfw at the moment really provoked it to happen.
I also saw it happen on the little previews in compact mode, that has not yet happened either.
Another thing I still see that may be related is an error loading screen transparently overlayed over an (I believe correctly loaded) image when I open it full screen, popping in after maybe a second. I can even move the image under the error screen, making for this technically sfw screenshot:
This happens when a post has two URLs (1) a thumbnail URL and (2) a source URL. The app tries to be smart and check if the thumbnail is cached first. If the thumbnail is cached, the app shows the thumbnail and then tries to load the source image. If the source image fails to load then you get this state.
Although this state sucks, I think for the time being it's ok. The only thing I can think of to make it look better is to maybe add a translucent background to the error. Also, there is still a way for users to "dismiss" the error. In this case, there should be a HD button at the bottom. Tapping it will tell the app you want to view the thumbnail and should dismiss the error.
